The Bigs of Central Missouri is hosting the Bowl for Kids' Sake again this year. For our service project this semester we will be participating. This is a great organization and the event is so much fun! Last year they served us pizza and ice cream, gave us a T-shirt and we all had a great time bowling for a cause. This year we will be bowling on Saturday, March 14 from 3:00-4:45. Our team has to raise $300 so make sure to ask everyone you know if they would like to donate. Any type of donations are great! Even if you can't bowl please join the team and help support us. I think as long as you are registered you can get a free T-shirt!
So go out there and start asking your friends, family, co-workers, teachers, anyone and lets raise more money than any other team!!

First meeting for spring!!
We tried out new activities during tonight's meeting and it turned out to be a success! If you were unable to attend the meeting tonight, we hope to see you Feb. 4th. Here's the breakdown of tonight.
1) Meeting time
Every other Wednesday at 6 p.m.
2) Dues
$10
Due Feb. 4th
3) Meeting attire
-Business casual for general meetings (jeans with no holes)
-Professional attire (slacks, skirts, etc.) for speakers
4) Current events
To mix up the meetings, it would be great if members brought information on current events within the industry...or anything you find interesting! Discovered a new blog that you love? Read an interesting article? Have a great TV ad stuck in your head? Tell us about it!
5) Big Brothers Big Sisters fundraiser
Bowling for Kid's Sake
We have to raise $300 to participate. If we all raise $20/$30, we're set! The event is March 13-15.
6) Fundraising idea
Valentine's Day is creeping up, and it would be a great opportunity to raise funds. Students could preorder items such as chocolate covered strawberries and pretzels, and we could pass out the goodies the day before V-Day. You may be wondering where we're getting these chocolate covered strawberries and such. We're making them so grab your chef hat!
7) Case studies
Our wonderful vice president, Rachel, put together a couple of case studies. We had an opportunity to discuss the cases, the ethical problems for each case and what we would do. Do you remember the code of ethics? The first starts with an "a"....still can't remember? Ok, it's advocacy, honesty, expertise, independence, loyalty and fairness.
Oh, and thanks to Paulie for summarizing our case since I'm incapable of grasping anything unless it's in my hand. :)
8) Info for future events
We're wanting to put together some general information and a board for future events such as involvement fairs and such. Interested in helping with that? E-mail Amanda at prssa@stephens.edu.
9) Blog
PLEASE, please, please write a blog post, comment on earlier posts, etc. Send your post to prssa@stephens.edu and we'll post it for you!
10) Because I need to end on an even number.
